Abstract: A high-density focusing objective lens having a high
numerical aperture (NA), which can be easily manufactured
by an existing technique, and an optical pickup adopting
the objective lens for use in high-density recording. The
objective lens (155) includes: a first transmitting
portion (156) placed at a relatively near-axis region from
the optical axis, for divergently transmitting an incident
beam; a first reflecting portion (157) for divergently
reflecting the incident beam, facing the first
transmitting portion (156); a second reflecting portion
(158) formed at a relatively far-axis region around the
first transmitting portion (156), for focusing and
reflecting the light reflected from the first reflecting
portion (157); and a second transmitting portion (159)
formed at a relatively far-axis region around the first
reflecting portion (157), for refracting and transmitting
the light focused by the second reflecting portion (158),
wherein the maximum angle α between the optical axis and
the peripheral beam passing through the second
transmitting portion (159) after having passed through the
first transmitting portion (156) and been reflected by the
first and second reflecting portions (157;158) satisfies
the condition of 30° ≤  α ≤ 65°. The optical pickup
further includes the previously mentioned objective lens
(155) as a second objective lens, which is optionally
placed into the optical path between a first objective
lens and an optical medium. As a result, the NA of the
objective lens unit can be increased up to 0.85 while the
working distance d 2  is maintained to be 2 mm.

Abstract: A serial data transfer method utilizing one clock line and one serial
data line. The method transfers a sequence of serial data bits on the serial
data line, with each bit synchronized with a rise of a clock signal on the
clock line. A chip enablement signal is placed within a particular data bit
in synchronism with a particular fall of the clock signal associated with the
particular data bit to determine the range of the serial data based on the bit
position of the chip enablement signal. A further data identification flag
bit is placed in the data bit that follows the chip enablement signal to
indicate whether the serial data constitute a command code or write data.
Thus, the data transfer method of the invention provides a simple and
efficient serial data transfer method by minimizing control bits in
accordance with the invention, using only two signal lines as in IIC data
transfer methods.

Abstract: The 29 bit identifier field of a standard CAN protocol message format is subdivided into a message function portion, a class one node identifier portion, to identify class one nodes which must be able to communicate with each other as well as with a large number of other nodes in the system, and a selectable node identifier portion, the vast majority of which is utilized for class two node identifiers, to identify class two nodes which never need to communicate with each other, but only need to communicate with class one nodes, and a small portion of which is utilized for class one node identifiers for cases where two class one nodes are communicating with each other. The least significant eight bits of the selectable portion represent class one identifiers when the most significant eight bits of the selectable portion are all zeros, but when any of the most significant eight bits of the selectable portion represents a one, then the lowest ordered eight bits are part of a class two identifier. Thus, the selectable portion can identify, for example, 256 class one nodes and 65,280 class two nodes.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on fabrique des produits à partir d'une composition d'alliage métallique, comme des produits moulés à pression, estampés ou laminés, tels qu'une feuille, une bande, une tige, un fil ou une bande métallique, à l'aide d'au moins une étape d'usinage à froid, et d'un recuit flash, intermédiaire ou final. Ce procédé peut consister à laminer à froid un alliage d'aluminure de fer, nickel ou titane, puis à recuire le produit travaillé à froid dans un four, par chauffage infrarouge.  De préférence, on exécute le recuit flash en chauffant rapidement le produit travaillé à froid, pour le porter à une température élevée en un peu moins d'une minute. Le recuit flash est efficace pour réduire suffisamment la dureté de surface du produit travaillé à froid, de manière à permettre un travail à froid ultérieur. On peut préparer le produit à travailler à froid par coulage de l'alliage ou par une technique métallurgique à base de poudre, comme le coulage en ruban d'un mélange de poudre métallique et d'un liant, le laminage d'un mélange de poudre et d'un liant ou la vaporisation par plasma de la poudre sur un substrat. Dans le cas du coulage en ruban ou du laminage, le produit en poudre initial peut être chauffé à une température suffisante pour élimine les composants volatils.  On peut utiliser ce procédé pour former une feuille laminée à froid, que l'on forme en un élément chauffant du type résistance électrique, capable d'atteindre une température de 900 °C en moins d'une seconde lorsque l'on fait passer à travers cet élément chauffant une tension pouvant aller jusqu'à 10 volts et 6 ampères.

Abstract: In a door mirror in accordance with the present invention,
at a connecting portion near a driver's seat or a passenger seat, an
opposing portion which is a boundary between the connecting
portion and a lid is exposed on the surface of a visor at a side
toward the substantial rear of a vehicle. Therefore, even if steps are
formed at the opposing portion and slight irregularities are thereby
formed on the surface of the visor, air flow does not flow over the
opposing portion, or orientation of air flow is not rapidly changed
or turbulence is not generated over or below the opposing portion.
In this way, noise such as wind noise generated near the
connecting portion can be reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a long range, low power
communications device (100). The device includes an antenna
(114) for transmitting and receiving signals, an analog
section (200) coupled to the antenna (114), and a digital
section (300) coupled to the analog section (200). More
specifically, the analog section (200) includes an
intermediate frequency downconverter (204), a digital Inphase
output (278), and a digital Quadrature phase output (288).
The digital section (300) includes an I/Q derotater (306)
producing an I output and a Q output, a wakeup detector (312)
including a magnitude output (349), and a threshold comparison
circuit (354, 356) coupled to the magnitude output (349). The
threshold comparison circuit (354, 356) stores a threshold
value indicative of a wakeup signal reception condition, as
reflected in the magnitude output (349). The wakeup detector
(312) may also, for example, use an accumulator (366) and a
moving average circuit (368) between the magnitude output
(349) and the threshold comparison circuit (354, 356). In one
implementation of the communication device (100), the digital
section (300) includes an inner/outer product circuit (358)
coupled to the I output and the Q output, and I and Q
accumulators (360, 362) for the inner and outer products.
Correlators (404, 410) for the inner and outer products may 
also be included (particularly if modulated wakeup signals are
expected). The analog section (200) preferably uses 1-bit
analog to digital converters (276, 286) coupled to the
intermediate frequency downconverter (204) to produce the
digital Inphase output (278) and the digital Quadrature phase
output (288).

Abstract: A remotely actuatable diagnostic valve biased normally open is disposed in the air
inlet of a vehicle fuel tank vapor storage canister and a thermistor disposed to sense vapor
temperature above the liquid level in the fuel tank. Upon engine shutdown, the valve is
remotely actuated to close. When the fuel vapor in the tank cools to form a vacuum in the
tank, the vacuum overcomes the valve bias and holds the valve shut when the valve is
remotely de-actuated. A valve position sensor provides confirmation that the valve has been
held shut by the vapor vacuum when the valve is de-actuated. If a leak exists the vacuum
will be insufficient to hold the valve closed after remote de-actuation; and, the valve is biased
open, whereupon the valve position sensor provides a fault indication signal.
